Worst city in Iowa?

Then you have Iowa city fighting also. DeSantos did that to his teammates parents.
It’s probably Hibbing. Some rough places in northern MN if you aren’t on a nice lake.

Yeah but if that were the case there's no way CR would beat out West Des Moines.
It's been a minute since I've been in Ottumwa, but my memories of that area were pretty much nothing but wild dogs and cars parked in yards.

I agree with their assessment of Bakersfield for California, although Fresno is right up there. Both are just awful.
I spent a week in Worcester, MA a while ago, for work. Stayed in what I thought was a nice enough hotel. When the office I was visiting asked me where I was staying they were like "Yikes, don't go out at night!'. I thought they were just giving me a hard time, being a hayseed from Iowa, until the boss pulled me aside later and said "Seriously, you should change hotels. They keep finding dead hookers in that one.".
And when I asked him which hotels were better, he recommended I stay out of town.
I wonder if he kisses his mother-sister with that mouth?
Council bluffs isn’t great, but being next to Omaha you can find things to do outside of town if you’re so inclined.
Some of the Mississippi River towns on the other hand seem pretty rough. Clinton, keokuk, ft Madison, Burlington…ottumwa also kindred spirits with those

Edina
Cedar Rapids
VA Beach
Brookings
Dallas
You could be right but I generally avoid the places that aren't on a nice lake.

A good friend of mine lives in Virginia Beach and loves it. There are a lot of tourists though. And military boats and air traffic.
True. Cairo, Illinois is 100 percent the right answer too.
This is pretty vague I guess. What are the parameters, the size range, etc.
Iowa only has 3 towns over 100K population.
If you look at a list of towns in Iowa many of the largest are suburbs or at least in Metro areas of bigger "cities" ie. West DM, Ankeney, Council Bluffs. Even Ames and IC can be considered in the Metro for DM or CR.
I have a hard time putting towns like Mason City, Ft dodge, Marshalltown in the same category as CR, DM etc. Let alone smaller towns.
Its also difficult to compare CR or DM to someplace like Chicago.

Pella probably not big enough to qualify but their hatred of outsiders is of the charts.
Yeah, I’m not sure why they picked VA Beach when you have the rest of hillbilly backwoods VA to choose from.
